What is the incidence of transsexualism?
There is no definitive answer to this question. Some estimates put the number of MTF transsexuals at one in 10,000 and the number of FTM transsexuals at one in 30,000. However, judging by the number of transsexuals we know and by the number of people who have undergone reassignment surgery, we suspect the number is much higher in both categories. In fact, one estimate puts the number at between one in 250 and one in 500.
